How Saoirse Ronan’s Heels and Timothée Chalamet’s Tailoring Made Them Hollywood’s Most Stylish Pairing

Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet aren’t just two of Hollywood’s most talented young stars—they’re also one of its most stylish pairings.

Since first joining forces in Greta Gerwig’s 2017 coming-of-age gem Lady Bird, where they brought raw authenticity to their teenage romance, the duo has become as captivating off-screen as they are on it.

Over the years, their friendship has blossomed into a rare Hollywood bond—equal parts playful, supportive, and fashion-forward, whether stepping onto a film premiere’s pink carpet or making a joint talk-show appearance, Ronan and Chalamet consistently elevate the red carpet with looks that highlight both their chemistry and their individuality.

She leans into fearless heels and statement gowns, while he embraces boundary-pushing tailoring that redefines modern menswear.

The result? A catalogue of red-carpet moments that fans revisit almost as fondly as their films. Below, we look back at some of their most memorable fashion highlights together—and how Ronan’s bold footwear choices often stole the spotlight.

While promoting Lady Bird at the 2018 Film Independent Spirit Awards, Saoirse Ronan leaned into youthful glamour with a striking Prada look that reflected her fresh red-carpet style.

The duo’s on-screen magic has become one of Hollywood’s favorite pairings. Beyond their roles, Ronan and Chalamet have nurtured a genuine friendship that fans love almost as much as their performances.

Their professional partnership has continued through multiple projects, including Gerwig’s Little Women, where Ronan’s Jo March and Chalamet’s Laurie shared another complicated but unforgettable bond.

Little Women is a 2019 film adaptation of the classic novel by Louisa May Alcott, starring Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet, and directed by Greta Gerwig, which follows the lives of the four March sisters as they navigate young adulthood in the aftermath of the American Civil War, and received critical acclaim and award nominations (Credit: Cover Images)

In a 2019 Entertainment Weekly interview, Ronan teased Chalamet about their on-screen dynamics: “I love that in Lady Bird you broke my heart. In Little Women, I got to break yours.” Chalamet quipped back, “Yes, that’s true. Then I married your sister.”

Born on April 12, 1994, Ronan is just over a year older than Chalamet, born on December 27, 1995—a gap that mirrors their friendship dynamic, with Ronan often seen as the more outgoing presence and Chalamet as the thoughtful counterpart.

Coordinated Contrast: Ronan in Valentino and Chalamet in Pastel Thom Browne at the London Premiere

At the UK premiere of Little Women in London on December 16, 2019, Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet brought coordinated but contrasting styles to the pink carpet. Ronan kept it classic in Valentino, while Chalamet embraced playful tailoring in pastel Thom Browne.

In their friendship, Chalamet often comes across as the quieter presence—the thoughtful peacekeeper to Ronan’s more outgoing energy. It’s a balance that not only strengthens their off-screen bond but also translates into the magnetic chemistry fans love watching on screen.

Ever since Lady Bird, the duo has been “shipped” by audiences eager to see their partnership extend beyond film. Their most recent collaboration, The French Dispatch (2021), reignited speculation that the two might be more than friends.

Still, while their closeness has fueled endless rumors, both actors have made it clear that their bond remains platonic—proof that great chemistry doesn’t always require romance.

Both actors keep their personal lives relatively private. Ronan has been linked to Scottish actor Jack Lowden since 2018, while Chalamet has been associated with actress Eiza González, Lily-Rose Depp, and, more recently, model Sarah Talabi.

As their careers continue to evolve, Ronan and Chalamet have also proven themselves as reliable fashion fixtures, bringing distinct personalities to every red-carpet and press event. That contrast was especially clear at their London appearance on December 18, 2024.

Jumping back a few years from their 2024 appearance, the buzz around Little Women in late 2019 brought Saoirse Ronan, Timothée Chalamet, and Florence Pugh together for a lively press tour.

One highlight was the London photocall, where the trio once again carried their on-screen chemistry into real life, each showcasing distinct personalities through fashion—Saoirse Ronan (5ft 6in/167.6 cm, US shoe size 8) in polished elegance, Timothée Chalamet (5ft 10in/177.8 cm, US shoe size 11) in relaxed cool, and Florence Pugh (5ft 3in/160 cm, US shoe size 7) in modern chic.

Much like Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet—whose friendship began with the release of Titanic in 1997—Ronan and Chalamet share a rare bond that blends genuine affection with undeniable onscreen chemistry.

Their ease with one another has made them one of Hollywood’s most celebrated modern pairings, admired for maintaining authenticity both on and off-screen.

Ronan has often spoken warmly about her easy rapport with Chalamet, affectionately referring to him as “Timmy.” In one interview with Entertainment Weekly, she admitted, “He keeps me on my toes — I’m never quite sure what he’s going to do next. That only progressed more and grew more. It helped that we do have a very natural rapport with each other.”

Chalamet has echoed that sentiment, frequently praising her talent and friendship: “It’s so rare with Saoirse — I’m so f***ing grateful to get to work with her.” He has even joked that if he were to write a book about his life, an entire chapter would be devoted to her, titled “A Chapter of Saoirse.” From bowing before her at award shows to openly gushing in interviews, he never misses a chance to celebrate their bond.

That exact authenticity shines through in Ronan’s solo red-carpet appearances, which are often just as memorable as her joint outings with Chalamet. Jumping back to 2016, she candidly admitted how uncomfortable it was to brave the freezing London winter in a strapless gown. This refreshingly human moment made her British Academy Film Awards look all the more unforgettable.
